Pest Control Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Watchtower Pest Services is a new residential pest control company being built with a focus on exceptional service, strong customer relationships, and long-term growth.

We're looking for an experienced pest control professional who wants more than just another job. This is an opportunity to get involved on the ground floor of a growing company, help establish its technical foundation, and play an important role in shaping its future.

Our founder will lead the business operations, sales, marketing, and overall growth strategy. We're looking for the right person to bring the technical pest control expertise, field experience, and leadership needed to build a high-quality service operation.

About the Opportunity

We're seeking an experienced pest control professional who is either already qualified to serve as a Georgia Designated Certified Operator or has the experience and qualifications necessary to pursue that role.

This position is ideal for someone who has spent years working in the pest control industry, understands what it takes to deliver excellent service, and is ready for an opportunity to help build something of their own.

As an early member of our team, you'll have a direct impact on how we operate, the standards we establish, and the team we eventually build.

This is a hands-on role, especially in the beginning. As the company grows, the opportunity exists to take on greater technical leadership and management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the company's Designated Certified Operator, if qualified, or work toward obtaining the necessary Georgia certification and designation.
• Help develop and implement pest control treatment protocols, service standards, and operating procedures.
• Perform residential pest control services and help establish a reputation for exceptional customer service.
• Provide technical expertise on pest identification, treatment methods, product selection, and application procedures.
• Help ensure compliance with Georgia Department of Agriculture regulations, licensing requirements, and safety standards.
• Assist with selecting equipment, products, and materials needed for efficient operations.
• Help establish technician training procedures and quality-control standards.
• Troubleshoot challenging pest control issues and provide technical guidance.
• Participate in hiring, training, and mentoring future service technicians as the company grows.
• Work directly with the owner to continuously improve service quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Qualifications

We're interested in candidates who have:

• Several years of hands-on experience in the pest control industry, preferably in residential general pest control.
• Strong technical knowledge of pest identification, treatment procedures, pesticide application, and safety practices.
• A current Georgia Certified Operator certification or the experience and qualifications necessary to pursue certification.
• A thorough understanding of what it takes to deliver consistent, high-quality pest control services.
• Strong communication skills and a customer-first attitude.
• The ability to work independently, solve problems, and take ownership of their responsibilities.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and an interest in helping build a growing business.

Preferred but not required:

• Current Georgia Certified Operator certification in Household Pest Control.
• Experience supervising, training, or mentoring pest control technicians.
• Experience helping manage service operations or developing treatment procedures.
• Familiarity with Georgia pest control licensing and regulatory requirements.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Most pest control positions involve joining an established company and following systems that are already in place.

This opportunity is different.

You'll work directly with the owner to help build a company from the beginning. Your knowledge, experience, and ideas will help shape the way we operate.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys solving problems, and wants to be part of building a successful company.

As Watchtower Pest Services grows, so will the opportunity to expand your responsibilities into technical leadership, technician development, and service management.

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Has a strong technical background and takes pride in doing things the right way.
• Wants to be part of a growing company rather than simply filling another position.
• Is comfortable wearing multiple hats during the early stages of a business.
• Is dependable, self-motivated, and willing to take initiative.
• Sees the potential in helping build a company from the ground up.
